Tottenham Hotspur vs Stoke City
The pursuit for a Top 4 league position continues at the Lane as we host the Trotters tonight.
This match is really hard to call after the unfortunate incident over the weekend. Many players will undoubtedly still be praying for and thinking of Fabrice Muamba as they take to the field. The question is whether our boys are mentally ready to play. After 3 league defeats, we are looking vulnerable and need to pick up points to maintain our gap over Arsenal. Lennon is still unavailable and Adebayor is a doubt as well. The midfield will probably see van Der Vaart out right and Modric in the middle. Defoe and Saha should be starting upfront as a 4-4-2 formation is likely at home.
Stoke are never an easy team to overcome and there are always the ex-Spurs old boys to worry about. Long throws into the box will be a concern as we look vulnerable to set pieces in the past few matches.
I just hope that the consummate professionals will be focused and understand that positive and lively football from us will help us do well tonight. This season could be special for all the right reasons.
COYS!!!
